Coolftp runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 86 installs a week from npm. Last commit 18 Oct 2026.
Deploy a site to its SFTP/FTP host from a coding agent. Changed files only, undo, live checks.
What the code does

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.
const child = spawn(cmd, { cwd, shell: true, stdio: ["ignore", "pipe", "pipe"] });
files: [...uploads, ...(opts.delete ? plan.delete.map((d) => "-" + d) : [])].slice(0, 500),
all.push({ remote, local: path.join(local, st.name), size: st.size });
<span class="row"><input name="privateKeyPath" class="grow" placeholder="~/.ssh/id_ed25519 (auto)" /><button type="button" class="btn small ghost" id="pickKey">…</button></span>

This code can reach further than it looks
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.
